Maybe the search engines should start crawling and indexing discord

So the difference is in the kind of holding space?

You know what’s really inefficient? Making a bunch of people write additional weekly reports on their work on top of the already significant documentation that goes on in the federal government. It’s not free or instant to write these, and could reasonably lower the amount of actual productivity by diverting smart people from their main objectives to write extra reports for this dumbass.

That’s about one egg per second

What exactly are the hazards of shared memory and locks? The ownership system and the borrow checker do a pretty good job at enforcing correct usage, and if you are clever you can even guarantee no deadlocks (talk at rustconf 2024 about the fuchsia network stack).

Almost certainly not

It’s wild how much stuff is manufactured on processes considered obsolete for high end cpu/gpu production

Yes, thousands of often highly specialized, experienced mercenaries.

The internet was developed by ARPA, then later made available to universities and eventually private connections. Military and public research developed the tech, capitalists figured out how to most efficiently sell junk using the tech.

Actually I think this is a pretty common thing. I know several people who use iPhones and other Apple products specifically to avoid the google alternatives.

Organizations aren’t just paying for access to applications, they’re also paying for cloud storage, email hosting, calendar tools, training, and all of the infrastructure to support that. Typically when you price out the cost of expanding the in-house IT department and the cost of acquiring and maintaining the infrastructure required to replicate the various cloud services, it ends up being break even at best. Qualified people who can set up and maintain infrastructure are quite expensive, especially when having to maintain high uptime/availability, 24/7 incident response, and compliance with various regulations, like those to protect students’ privacy.

Racist stereotypes are still racist

It’s just unfounded racism

Bringing a good argument to a gunfight is unfortunately not a winning strategy. When the fascists have no qualms shooting you simply for being yourself, no amount of peaceful organizing is going to stop them. Peaceful protests and organizing only work because they have the implicit threat of violence if the demands are not met.

I assumed it referred to a lake of fondue

That’s not the speech I was referring to, the speech I am referring to is the speech of regular people whose voices are censored on American social media. TikTok, being non-American, offers a platform for those who are at odds with the American oligarchy.

Celebrating the US government implementing protectionist policies to benefit American oligarchs and limit free speech? Seems like a dumb holiday

I don’t think iPhones are a relevant metric in OLED adoption, they’ve been using them since 2017.

Consumer side perhaps there is little desired innovation from MS, but most of their sales are enterprise and cloud, the last of which is a rapidly evolving market where talent can be put to good use.

Or even non-democratic countries. Brutal dictatorships usually get a larger international response, even from other dictatorships.
